-Compatibility:
+# Known Bugs:
- - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
- class method.
+ - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
+ twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
- - Need at least good docs on how C3 fail occurs.
+ Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
-Bugs:
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
- - Fix the bleedin visit bug
+ - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+ class method (TESTS).
-Testing:
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
- - Run more smokes
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
-Profiling:
+So Catalyst::Plugin::Log::* can die
+in a fire. Having $c->log_class would be a good start. kane volunteered
+to do some of this.
- - vs 5.70 and optimisation as needed on perl 5.8 (5.10 is already faster!).
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.

+# REFACTORING
+
+## PSGI
+
+### To do at release time
+
+ - Release psgi branch of Catalyst-Devel
+ - Release new Task::Catalyst
+
+### Blockers
+
+ * Fix nginx middlewares so that they are generic, or can somehow
+ be used by people with their own .psgi files
+ * Fix a sane / nicer way to do custom engines.
+
+ * I've noticed a small difference with Catalyst::Test. The latest stable
+ version include two headers, 'host' and 'https'. They are missing from
+ this version - Pedro Melo on list
+ ^^ Cannot replicate this? Mailed back to ask for tests..
+
+### Nice to have
+
+ * Test/WWW/Mechanize/Catalyst.pm stable throws a deprecation alert when
+ using Catalyst::Test changes introduced by Cataplack. Suggested fix is
+ in the repo: http://dev.catalystframework.org/svnweb/Catalyst/revision?rev=14059
+
+ * Capture arguments that the plack engine component was run with somewhere,
+ to more easily support custom args from scripts (e.g. Gitalist's
+ --git_dir)
+ * throw away the restarter and allow using the restarters Plack provides
+ * remove per-request state from the engine instance
+ * be smarter about how we use PSGI - not every response needs to be delayed
+ and streaming
+
+## The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
+
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+ I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
+
+## App / ctx split:
+
+ NOTE - these are notes that t0m thought up after doing back compat for
+ catalyst_component_class, may be inaccurate, wrong or missing things
+ bug mst (at least) to correct before trying more than the first 2
+ steps. Please knock yourself out on the first two however :)
+
+ - Eliminate actions in MyApp from the main test suite
+ - Uncomment warning in C::C::register_action_methods, add tests it works
+ by mocking out the logging..
+ - Remove MyApp @ISA controller (ask metaclass if it has attributes, and if
+ so you need back compat :/)
+ - Make Catalyst::Context, move the per request stuff in there, handles from
+ main app class to delegate
+ - Make an instance of the app class which is a global variable
+ - Make new instance of the context class, not the app class per-request
+ - Remove the components as class data, move to instance data on the app
+ class (you probably have to do this for _all_ the class data, good luck!)
+ - Make it possible for users to spin up different instances of the app class
+ (with different config etc each)
+ - Profit! (Things like changing the complete app config per vhost, i.e.
+ writing a config loader / app class role which dispatches per vhost to
+ differently configured apps is piss easy)
